1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectives[1] To investigate the cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) levels in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis (CF) with no ventilatory limitation (ventilatory reserve ⩾ 15%) during exercise, and [2] to assess which physiological factors are related to CRF.

methodsA cross-sectional study design was used in 8- to 18-year-old children and adolescents with CF. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing was used to determine peak oxygen uptake normalized to body weight as a measure of CRF. Patients were defined as having 'low CRF' when CRF was less than 82%predicted. Physiological predictors used in this study were body mass index z-score,

resultsSixty children and adolescents (51.7% boys) with a median age of 15.3 years (25th-75th percentile: 12.9-17.0 years) and a mean percentage predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second of 88.5% (±16.9) participated. Mean percentage predicted CRF (ppVO

conclusionsCRF is reduced in over half of children and adolescents with CF with normal ventilatory reserve. Glucose intolerance and
